Who We Are

We are the church described in the New testament in the 21st century.

The Church is to be the “pillar and support of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:14-15) and we believe that when we follow the Scriptures it will produce Christians just as it did in the first century (Acts 2:38-42). As such we do not hold a formalized creed or statement of faith but instead, rely on the Bible alone for spiritual teachings and practice (2 Timothy 3:15-17) We accept the Bible as being both verbally inspired and infallible in content (2 Pet. 1:20-21; 1 Cor. 2:11-13). Consequently, when the Bible speaks upon any given subject, its pronouncement is accepted as final.

We are non-denominational.

It is our wish and purpose to wear no other name than Christ’s and to be known simply as Christians, members of the body of Christ. Such was clearly true of the Lord’s people in the first century (Acts 11:26; 1 Pet.4:16; Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18; Rom. 16:16). We refer to ourselves as the Church at Las Vegas, the church of Christ, the Lord’s church, or some other scriptural description, not in an attempt to be “sectarian,” but to identify ourselves as the church belonging to Christ. Jesus Christ is the head, the Savior, the purchaser, the redeemer and the foundation for the Church. (Ephesians 1:22,23,5:23-26, Acts 20:28, 1 Corinthians 3:11).

We are excited about the Great Commission

We believe that the Good News about Jesus is what God uses to call mankind to Himself (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, Romans 1:16-17). When that message of salvation is proclaimed, each person then becomes responsible to make a choice concerning what they have heard. Those that accept the truth of that message repent of their sins, confess Jesus as their Lord, and are then baptized into Christ for the forgiveness of their sins and to receive God’s Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38-41). Thus a person is born again and added to His Church. (Titus 3:3-7, Mark 16:16, Acts 22:16, Galatians 3:26-27, Colossians 2:9-12, 1:13-14) The Church is not something that you can “join” or be “voted” into by men! The Lord Himself adds individuals to His Church when they obey the gospel (Romans 6:17-18, Acts 2:47).

Our Plea For Unity.

We plead for unity among all who obediently respond to the doctrines and commandments given in the New Testament. Such is in harmony with the prayer of Jesus and the pleadings of the apostle (Jn. 17:20- 21; 1 Cor. 1:10; Eph. 4:1-6). We consider such unity to be possible, or Jesus would not have prayed for it. We also note that unity and love for each other was a mark of discipleship in the early churches (Jn. 13:34-35; Acts 2:44-46; Acts 4:32). And since division has always been the result of departure from “the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3), we believe that division can be healed by a return to the revealed word of God.
